They are often seen cuddling in their bed together and volunteers described them as an old married couple. Estimated to be around 12 years old, it\u2019s unknown how many holidays these two may have left which is why it\u2019s essential they find loving homes quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Rascal (A473157) \u2013 One of the shelter\u2019s longest residents, having arrived back on May 29, Rascal is a sweet, senior hoping for a second chance.<\/li>\n<li>Loki (A472842) \u2013 A staff and volunteer favorite, Loki is currently featured on a billboard on I-4 as the shelter aims to find her the right home. This calm, loving dog is another longtime shelter resident having arrived on June 8.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those interested in learning more can review the shelter\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocnetpets.com\/Adopt.aspx\">adoption process<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocnetpets.com\/Adopt\/AdoptableAnimals.aspx\">available pets<\/a> on the Animal Services website.
